Beachfront Weddings at Madison Beach Hotel

Our wedding experience with the Madison Beach Hotel was exceptional. The venue was perfect for our wedding of 50 guests. We had a beautiful ceremony on the beach and reception on the second floor with gorgeous views of the sunset. The staff made the process easy and we didn’t worry about anything of the day of the event because we had confidence in all of them. We did not need to hire a wedding planner as the Madison Beach Hotel was so helpful in preparation and day-of needs. Our guests all raved about the food, especially the hors d’oeuvres, and the beauty of the venue. The day at the Madison Beach Hotel surpassed my expectations.

Choosing the Madison Beach Hotel for our wedding was the best decision we made. The service was immaculate from our first tour. We had multiple people available to answer any question we had the year leading up to the wedding. The day of coordinator was fantastic for our rehearsal and smoothing out every detail the day of. She also was amazing with the timeline and flow of the day. Every guest said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to and how beautiful the venue was. I will also note that the food was outstanding and every guest commented on it. It was hard to choose a menu because there were so many great options. Thank you MBH for creating our dream wedding!

Perfect venue for our wedding! They had the experience down to a science and the staff guided us from start to finish. We highly recommend this venue!

Our wedding at Madison Beach Hotel on 8/26/23 was truly a fairy tale come to life. MBH was our first choice of venue for our summer wedding because of the beautiful setting with incredible oceanside views. We cannot speak highly enough of Lisa, who took us on the venue tour the same day we called; Amanda, who made the entire planning process as smooth and stress-free as possible; and Heather, who worked her tail off the day of the wedding to make sure everything was executed flawlessly so that my husband and I could just enjoy ourselves! In terms of special requests, there is not much the team at MBH can't or isn't willing to accommodate, but this can come at a steep price, so just be prepared for that. We had perfect weather on our wedding day, and everyone commented on how good the food and drinks were and how pretty the venue is. It was all we could ever dream of and more, and we wish we could do it all over again!

We couldn't have imagined a more spectacular place for my wife and I to be married this past September! - Lisa, Beth, and Amanda as well as the whole staff at the Madison Beach Hotel made our day incredible. The views were stunning, the venue was beautiful and everyone was so accommodating and friendly! - I would strongly advise checking out MBH for your big day!

My husband and I just happened to walk into the Madison Beach Hotel on a 70 degree day in November after going to multiple other wedding venues. We were about to quietly peruse the property when we bumped into Lisa. She took the time to give us a full tour, answer all of our questions, and gave us pamphlets with more details and available dates. She said it herself…it was kismet! From that point on we were in great hands. After securing a date, we worked with Amanda. She made the process incredibly smooth, answering all of our questions in a timely manner. On the day of our wedding, Heather did an outstanding job. She kept us on time, made sure we ate, and more importantly, made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything. The day was truly extraordinary. The food was incredible and the ceremony and reception were beautiful. Every interaction we had with a staff member was pleasant. We also had a brunch the day after the wedding to top off the incredible weekend. Once again, phenomenal food and presentation. My husband and I couldn’t have imagined getting married anywhere else. We are so thankful we stopped by that fateful November day!

Madison Beach Hotel is the most amazing place to get married -- my husband and I were married there on June 17, 2023 and it was the perfect day. We booked the venue about two years before our wedding and the whole planning process was a great experience. Amanda and Lisa answered all of my emails, usually right away, and never let me worry about anything. The team at MBH is always transparent about what they can or can't do (there isn't much they can't do) and we never felt stressed about our finances or meeting deadlines, which can absolutely be the hardest part of wedding planning. Other than the ease of planning and the amazing communication, MBH's venue itself is gorgeous. The ballroom perfectly fit our large family, the outdoor ceremony's backdrop can't be beat, and the small details all around the hotel made for the perfect summer wedding. Our family and friends did not stop talking about the meals, either. The food came out immediately, the portions were huge, and it was hands down one of the best meals we've ever had. They also had amazing staff members who tended to my husband and I all night, allowing us to have time to eat and drink which was SO helpful! I could go on and on about just how perfect this venue us but just trust us, you will not regret having your wedding here.

We just wrapped up our wedding weekend at the Madison Beach Hotel and it couldn’t have been any better. From the day we met Lisa for the tour on a cold January day to working with Amanda on the details and then meeting Heather for the final walk through. Everything was amazing. Their professionalism and heathers attention to detail made for the best day ever. The weather was a 10 out of 10. Heathers day of event execution made it clear that she is the best in the business. She made sure we had everything we need through out the day from getting ready in the suites to making sure everything was good during the reception. The food was excellent and tasted amazing. We woke up the next day saying “how did everything go just right and as planned” not a single complaint. Amazing venue, amazing team. Thank you for making our summer wedding come true. Alex and Tiffany.

We couldn’t have asked for a more magical wedding year. If you want something special for your wedding day, the MBH is where you need to host your wedding. My husband and I were treated like king and queen from the very first venue tour to currently where we feel like part of the MBH family even after our wedding day. The customer service at this venue is truly above and beyond (think Disney world quality) which sets this venue apart from the rest 100%. Our guests cannot get over how perfect our wedding day was. Your included wedding planning professionals - Lisa, Heather and Amanda will make every moment a breeze and fun. They are so SO good at what they do. The food… GREAT, the drinks… STRONG, the wedding flow… PERFECT (because of Heather- I’m convinced she even made the rain stop right before our ceremony began), the atmosphere… obviously, you can’t get anything prettier than this in CT. We loved every single second of our wedding day. Thank you MBH for being such a perfect start to the rest of our lives!! -Marisa and Joe (June 16, 2023 wedding)

My husband and I were married at the Madison Beach Hotel this past July and we could not have been happier with our choice. Everyone at the venue we worked with leading up to the wedding was so friendly and helpful and on the day of everything went off perfectly. It was exactly the chic New England feel we were hoping for and they delivered on every part of the experience.

Planning a wedding is hard, but planning it in a pandemic all the way from Ohio was even harder. Madison beach hotel did an outstanding job the day of. They walked me through the day before, I gave detailed instructions and everything turned out great! Would recommend if you are considering a beautiful wedding with gorgeous views and great food!

We did some things differently but you listened to exactly what we wanted and it really was the best day/night ever. Everyone at the hotel was so amazing to us and every guest keeps raving about the location, food, and staff. From the valet being the best ever, to the bartenders being so happy and helpful, I could go on and on. The team took extra care of us and it was so comforting to have someone close by. I really didn’t think some of the details would matter but every little thing you all did made it amazing. I would turn around and someone was there if I needed something. The place looked amazing and so special. It’s didn’t feel like a typical venue and was so special. We will definitely be back for anniversaries.

We wholeheartedly recommend the Madison Beach Hotel in Madison, CT. My husband and I have been parents of the bride 3 times before and, while we have had fairly good experiences in the past, no other venue measures up to the Madison Beach Hotel. And I mean in every way! From the early planning phase and expert advice from Amanda Toner and Lisa Freund over the last few months to the actual event in early October, with Heather showing us the way – all was extremely professional. Heather was at our elbows for the rehearsal and during the entire evening of the actual wedding showing us where to be, when to move, and granted every wish and need we had through the event. The wedding ceremony, the glorious setting, and the wonderful dinner afterwards were all perfect. We had family members attending from all over the country who, to a person, said how helpful the hotel staff was for the whole event, as well as during their room stays and meals at the hotel. Most of these people are world travelers with extensive experience abroad, so their comments meant a lot. The venue itself is lovely and peaceful, with every room looking upon the sea. Most of our guests mentioned that they’d had their best sleep in months in their individual rooms. My husband and I are local and occasionally have dinner at the restaurant so we knew the venue and setting on the shore would be spectacular; however, we have never had the occasion to stay overnight before this week. We were a bit worried about how our 18-month-old granddaughter was going to deal with sleeping in a strange room with us, but everyone was so kind and helpful that we really enjoyed our time. In the future when we have guests that we can't fully accommodate in our home, we will place them at Madison Beach Hotel. As stunning as the venue is, it is the staff that really made this entire wedding a success for everybody. They were all fantastic!!

Madison Beach Hotel was the absolute perfect place for my wedding. The staff was AMAZING, the views gorgeous and the food superb. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else to get married, and I can’t wait to go back!

Where to even begin with how incredible our experience was at the Madison Beach Hotel?! To start off I want to note that my partner and I are an LGBT couple, and often times felt a bit uncomfortable when searching for venue's. From the moment we first toured the Madison with Amanda, we immediately felt a sense of comfort, and it was the most enjoyable venue tour by far. My wife and I truly fell in love with the space. It was the perfect size for our wedding of 110 guests, the views were stunning, and the attention to detail given by the staff was unmatched. Along with Amanda, we worked with Nicole and Lisa for so many tiny details and big moments of the day. I cannot rave about them all enough! They were so attentive, professional, kind, and most of all FUN to work with! Out guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the room was, how amazing the food was (seriously....SUCH good food), and just generally how the evening flowed with such ease. I would book this venue a hundred times over. It was so unbelievably perfect!

The Madison Beach Hotel is absolutely beautiful. I had my wedding there on 4/29/2022. Nicole who was the wedding coordinator did such an amazing job. Her patience and hard work did not go unnoticed. I was very excited to have my wedding at the Madison Beach Hotel, but unfortunately it was not how I hoped it would be. First of all the biggest mistake was to hire a dj recommended by the hotel. J &S entertainment was the worst dj I have ever seen. He was racist, rude and completely disregarded everything I asked him to do. He messed up the music that my bridal party was introduced to, he did not play what was on my wishlist. He began to play Mexican music which was not requested, not on my list not even the same genre that was requested. He assumed because there were Hispanics and minorities in the room that is what we wanted to hear. The food was delicious, but when it came down to the cake the staff sliced very thin pieces, and not all of my tables received cake. At the end the cake was not wrapped up for us to take home. My husband had a grooms cake, that was not given out as well. The staff must have split the cake and taken it home, bc I had less than 80 guests, and it was a 3 tier cake. Not even a full tier was given out to my guests. I was also informed that the open bar was serving hot beer, and did not provide a lot of drinks which was supposed to be included in the “premium open bar”. If a service is paid for all I asked was that it would be provided. I spoke to Amanda who is a wedding specialist and I raised these concerns I was told I would receive a follow up and nothing. I am just very disappointed, if you decide to have your wedding at the Madison Beach Hotel please be mindful to check out all the details being that this is a very special day, and also stressful. You should be able to enjoy your day without having to stress these details. Very disappointed about my wedding cake, the hotel sent my husband and I and small 8inch strawberry short cake I guess to replace the grooms cake that was never given out or to us to bring home, but the cake we purchased for him was a tribute to his military career. They also did not send my wedding cake. Once again be mindful before you choose this venue, customer service should be the main priority.

If you are looking to leave your guests totally speechless, while being taken care of so effortlessly, look no further. I cannot imagine having our wedding at any other venue in Connecticut, as nothing compares. The staff are courteous and professional, so much so that your guests will mention them in their myriad of compliments. Wedding food can be tricky, but the Hotel will knock your guests’ socks off. Delicious food all evening, open bar, incredible staff and accommodations, and don’t even get me started on that view! If you want to host the event if a lifetime, Madison Beach Hotel is the venue.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with the Madison Beach Hotel. We had to move our wedding twice due to COVID and everything was changed over seamlessly and easily. The day of staff was incredible and we did not have to worry about a single thing the day of, allowing us to really enjoy and celebrate our special day! The food was fantastic, and the view really tops everything off. Couldn't have imagined a better place to host our wedding. Definitely recommend to anyone and everyone!!!

My husband and I got married at Madison Beach Hotel this past April. The staff was amazing throughout the entire process, especially with all of our COVID questions. Huge shoutout to Nicole who is the day of coordinator. It was literally pouring rain the morning of the wedding, but Nicole kept checking every hour and allowed us to wait till the last minute to make the decision on if we would need to move the ceremony inside. Lucky for us it cleared up and we had a beautiful outdoor ceremony. Highly recommend Madison Beach Hotel, they took care of everything and we still have friends and family talking about how great our COVID wedding was.

Beautiful venue and Amanda and Nicole were on top of everything from start to finish. Food was great, everything was set up perfectly and Amanda/Nicole took care of everything we needed leading up to the big day and during it.

We could not have picked a more perfect venue than the Madison beach hotel. The staff were amazing, and the setting was unbelievable- both our ceremony and dinner were outside overlooking the ocean. I highly recommend them!

I cannot say enough good things about the Madison Beach Hotel and their entire team. From all of the planning before-hand with Amanda, to the entire day of coordination process with Nicole and her team, the day couldn't have gone more flawlessly. The day of our wedding it ended up raining (like heavy rain the whole day kind of rain), but Nicole was constantly checking in with me to figure out contingency plans and was willing to do whatever we asked. We originally had planned on a ceremony on the beach, but with the weather, Nicole suggested doing it on the balcony outside of the ballroom, as we only had about 20 guests, and it ended up being everything we could have ever asked for! Throughout the night Nicole and her team were flawless, providing everything we needed before we could even think of it ourselves. I could not recommend the Madison Beach Hotel more for a great wedding experience!

The perfect wedding experience! Amanda, Nicole and the MBH team were absolutely amazing in the planning and execution of our wedding day. Amanda was so accommodating and responsive through out the entire wedding planning process. She really helped make sure we had every single thing we wanted for our wedding day. Nicole and the rest of the Madison Beach Hotel team made sure our wedding weekend was flawless. Their attention to detail and assistance throughout the entire weekend was impeccable. We had so many compliments from our guests about the hotel and the MBH team and how attentive and nice everyone was. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and team to help with our wedding day!  In addition we used their valued vendors list and couldn't have been more pleased with our selection (Cathy Savino - Officiant; A&B entertainment for music - David Gianni; Rogers Photography - Ed Rogers; Flowers by Danielle; and J Cakes). The level of service each provided was outstanding! 

We truly cannot recommend Madison Beach Hotel enough for your wedding! After multiple date changes, we booked our wedding at MBH for July 2021. Since the beginning of our planning journey with MBH, Amanda and the team handled everything with great care. From our tasting to our final planning meeting, they helped us plan a day that was unique to just us with so many options for the ceremony, a customized menu and countless additions. MBH stands out because of the many ways you are able to customize your wedding day. Our wedding day was met with challenges and stressful moments as a medical emergency occurred with a member of our bridal party just hours before our ceremony was set to begin. Nicole, their AMAZING day of coordinator, handled the situation with professionalism and compassion. She swiftly changed the order of events and re-organized her staff so that our wedding day continued without pause. Thanks to MBH, we were still able to have the wedding we had always dreamed of despite a very stressful situation. Nicole ensured that we and our guests were taken care of throughout the night. We received so many compliments on how great the staff was and the incredible food. Our overnight stay was magical. The views are unbeatable! The best decision we ever made during our engagement was booking at MBH. It is a gorgeous venue with incredible food, and the most professional, flexible, kind and experienced wedding team. Thank you Amanda, Nicole, Lisa and the team for a memorable day and going above and beyond to make the most of our day, we’ll be back for our anniversaries!

We highly recommend Madison Beach Hotel for a wedding venue!! The food was amazing, the staff was very friendly, and the service was great! MBH venue is such a gorgeous venue overlooking the beach. We were so happy with all of our wedding photos on the beach and rocks! Madison Beach Hotel exceeded our expectations!

This is going to be a long review, but I hope it helps other people make their decision to have a wedding at the Madison Beach Hotel! Before I say anything else, my husband and I have to note that the true MVP of our wedding and one of the biggest reasons to have your wedding here is because of Nicole. She is the banquet manager, but this title doesn’t do her justice because she is a guardian angel. Nicole handled absolutely everything and after we had our final meeting with her, any nerves we had immediately went away. She is honest, flexible, kind, caring, and will do anything to make your day special. If we needed food or a drink, Nicole appeared in seconds to help us out. When my bridesmaid could not figure out how to bustle my dress, Nicole was there to the rescue. She made our day so outstanding! One thing that also particularly stands out about this venue is how genuinely nice every single staff member is. From the valets, to the servers and catering director, to the front desk staff, everyone was so accommodating and lovely. Being a bride that didn’t want a “traditional” wedding, the staff at MBH did everything they could to make my dreams come true. I didn’t want a sit down dinner or a cake, and they were willing to make anything happen. Food and drink were of high priority to us and we were not disappointed. Our friends said that the food at this wedding was outstanding. We had both steak and stuffed sole and they were so delicious. The appetizers were so tasty that our guests were following the waiters looking for more helpings. We did have a cake for cutting, but we went with a dessert table for our guests with mini desserts and it was such a hit. It was truly the most dessert I’ve seen guests eat at a wedding. There wasn’t much need for decorations because the beauty of the venue and the view speaks for itself. Inez set up all of our decorations beautifully and we were extremely impressed! I knew I wanted to get married by the water, but not in the sand, and the lawn was the perfect place to do that. It is picture perfect! We wanted to give a final shout out to Amanda, the wedding coordinator, who helped us plan every detail. She is so knowledgeable at weddings and we knew we were in great hands! We are hopeful we can attend a wedding here one day because we want to be able to experience it from a guest’s point of view. Our guests said this was one of the best weddings and venues they have ever attended! Thank you MBH!!!

My husband and I are still on cloud nine following this weekend, and so blown away by the magical Madison Beach Hotel. From getting engaged at MBH this past June, to coming back for an intimate wedding with our immediate loved ones--the hotel is a beautiful oasis to escape from the trying times of 2020. Our family members were so in awe of the amazing night, and had such a fun time. The beautiful views and aesthetics were an amazing backdrop as we ate, drank, and celebrated the night away! From the bottom of our hearts we thank Nicole, Amanda, and the rest of MBH team for exceeding our greatest dreams to make our day so special. Their flexibility, enthusiasm, and unwavering support to meet us where we were at with our wedding plans, truly means a lot. Our vendors also loved working with the MBH team. Throughout this process they allowed us to be vulnerable, ask questions, and address real concerns in regards to planning a wedding during a pandemic. We originally had our wedding scheduled as a Christmas wedding in December. As cases started to increase again--we called Amanda and Nicole and asked if the wedding can be pushed up. They quickly responded and were so accommodating! They helped us crazy kids get everything together in ONE week to have a our wedding! The stars truly aligned for us to have our wedding day this past weekend. We were able to enjoy all of the available amenities at the hotel during our stay. Besides the wedding. my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the bonfire set up on the beach with a hot cup of clam chowder in one hand and a beer in another. We also loved connecting with the locals and employees! You can see the love and work that goes into making this hotel so wonderful. Our beautiful memories made this year are the start to a wonderful tradition at MBH--as we look forward to coming back to reminisce and create more memories in the future.

My daughters wedding was completely magical! The staff and wedding planner were fabulous! Extremely helpful and tried their best to make everything perfect, and they did! I would highly recommend Madison Beach hotel for a special event!

With all the unknowns of 2020 and having to change venues four times, Madison Beach Hotel pulled through for us, and with under 6 weeks to go before the wedding it was a nail biter. We want to especially thank Nicole, Amanda, and the catering staff for making our wedding day/night one to remember. Everyone came together as a team to fulfill the requests of the Brides and make sure guests were having a blast. They paid attention to details and surpassed our expectations. The hotel was able to accommodate the needs of the entire wedding flawlessly. Even with COVID safety restrictions both guests and staff followed procedures and remained safe. If your wedding is small or large, Madison Beach Hotel is the place to have your fairytale wedding. Cheers to the Brides.

I am a Covid Bride. When all of this happened in March, my Husband and I thought everything would be totally fine by our wedding date - 10.10.20. Well, as current events quickly progressed - we realized that we would have to start thinking about alternate options. Amanda Toner: This girl is a literal ANGEL. She is the Wedding Specialist at the MBH, and helped us make our wedding the most magical day it could be. Covid did not stop her and her team. She put up with me with the thousands of back and forth emails, late night calls and always kept a smile on her face. I remember our tasting, that the MBH held privately for us in a secluded part of the restaurant, and she just kept saying "I love LOVE". It really made me realize that my Husband and I were not going to let this Pandemic stop us from having the most amazing wedding we possibly could. She suggested ALL of the foods for cocktail hour, a bonfire pit for guests so they could social distance at their own pace, hot "spiked" apple cider, etc. She went above and beyond to make this a "normal" wedding, and honestly it was better than we could have ever imagined. A few days after the wedding, she contacted me and said she captured our first look from the balcony and wanted to send us the video/photos. I never asked her to do that - such a queen. Nicole Ballou: While Amanda helped with all of the specifics leading up to the event, Nicole was legit my fairy godmother during the rehearsal and the day of our wedding. Above & beyond doesn't even do justice. ANYTHING we asked for, she had it done within 15 seconds (and literally brought me whispering angel rosé ALL NIGHT LONG). Nicole displayed the thousands of pumpkins and decorations that I brought beautifully. I thought there would be some hesitation as to how many little details I asked of her - but never ONCE did she blink an eye. She helped wrangle our entire family and friends that day, and never broke a smile. Once this Pandemic is over, I'll be back to give her the massive hug she deserves. She even met me the next morning at brunch (which they reserved a space for at no charge or hesitation), to cheers and wish us the best. Lastly, and this is so important. OUR. DOG. WAS. THERE. We stressed and stressed that we really wanted our Rhodesian Ridgeback to be part of the ceremony and take pictures with us, then she would go back to the room on the first floor where my brother was staying. LITERALLY no questions asked, other then let me see pictures of her. I honestly looked at my husband at one point and said, this is too good to be true. Well, it wasn't. Midway through speeches - guess who starts howling for us on the patio of the room? My brother went to go get her, and Nicole said it was no problem to have her down under the tent. MY DOG WALKED AROUND THE RECEPTION. Our dream. Nicole also offered to walk the dog at one point in the night so we could enjoy ourselves! I literally can't. Such a spoiled little princess. Amanda, Nicole and the rest of the MBH team - we can't thank you enough for hosting the best night of our lives. We got married during a Pandemic, they said. Well, I didn't even realize. xoxo Jack & Marissa

Madison Beach Hotel hosted our wedding on August 7, 2020. When COVID hit and our original wedding venue could no longer host our wedding, we began searching for one that could. MBH was ready to help us immediately. They worked safely and diligently to help us plan a small, intimate, outdoor wedding working within the state guidelines. They gave us options and let us be creative during the planning process. With so many changes and unknowns, we were very thankful to have Nicole help us through the final weeks. She was reassuring and helped us finalize the details even through a Hurricane. She was there for us, helping to coordinate and get us anything we needed throughout the day and evening. Nicole worked amazing with our wedding planner to meet every detail we wanted. The MBH tent where we had our reception (due to COVID) was beautiful, right next to the water, and was perfect for our wedding. All of the MBH staff were genuine, professional, and extremely accommodating. We had the most perfect wedding day on the beach at Madison Beach Hotel.

All weddings are stressful. There is simply no way around this - even with the best planning. But when it came to those things that are controllable, the MBH (especially Traci and Nicole and their quality staffs) provided flexibility, impeccable service (with a smile), and a confidence that can only come with experience. From the food to bar service to facilities support the MBH was top notch. With the picturesque setting, the wonderful guest accommodations and the staff focus on customer service we couldn’t imagine a better setting for our daughter’s wedding reception. Thanks MBH! You made the event truly memorable for all the right reasons.

MBH exceeded any expectations we had for our wedding day! It was absolutely PERFECT!!! Nicole, Traci and their entire team are amazing. Everyone was so accommodating! Leading up to our wedding any questions we had were answered promptly. Everything was decorated so beautifully, from the lawn during the ceremony, to cocktail hour and finally the ballroom for our reception. Nicole kept everything moving smoothly so we were able to enjoy the whole day from start to finish. She really goes above and beyond to make everyone happy. The food was delicious! The location is beautiful! We lucked out and had beautiful weather. The gorgeous sunset made for the perfect backdrop in so many pictures! You can’t get better service anywhere. Thank you so much MBH for such an amazing & memorable day.

Everyone at Madison Beach Hotel is very friendly and professional. Communication was easy during the whole wedding process. The staff bend over backwards to make sure that the bride and groom have the wedding of their dreams. I could not have asked for a better venue.

This was a second wedding for both of us and we each brought 4 kiddos to our blended family- And I was so worried about the kids feeling a part of the day. Our team at Madison Beach Hotel thought of everything and many times before I could dream it up they had a solution. From encouraging me to have the ceremony outside, to helping me with a spot for my child with autism to decompress during the reception..... our day was beautiful, perfectly planned and orchestrated by Nicole (more on her in a second!) and all the guests commented on the beauty, professionalism of the staff and incredible food. As a general rule I am the planner in our fay- Nicole, Becky and Traci offered support, a push in the right direction when I needed to make a decision but above all Nicole offered peace of mind the entire day. She had it under control and ensured every detail I had dreamed up were taken care of and some details I forgot- she fixed before it impacted the day. They say team work makes the dream work- at Madison the team helps you create your dream day. We ❤️ This venue because of the views, and menu and beautiful accommodations. But we will never forget how this team gave us our dream day. Xo Angela and Kevin 10/18/19

We planned a wedding on a very tight timeline and could not have been more pleased with the guidance and support we received. From the initial meeting, through the wine tasting, through to the event itself, the staff was engaged and caring. The location was beautiful. Our day simply perfect.

We just had our daughter’s wedding at MBH and I can not say enough great things about the staff, location, food and venue. We were in great hands throughout the whole process and Nicole, the banquet manager, is a big reason this was the case. She (and Traci) were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Nicole was helpful the whole day of the wedding making sure everyone was where they were suppose to be, the bride/groom had food and drinks and things ran smoothly. I highly recommend the MBH for a wedding!

The minute we walked in to Madison Beach Hotel we knew it was "our place". Classy yet unpretentious. Gorgeous yet casual. It was everything we envisioned for our day. What we could not envision was how helpful and perfect Nicole and her team would be! The details and organization made it so simple for us to have fun planning the little personal touches. They helped us design a day that totally expressed who we are as a couple. On our wedding day Nicole was there literally ever step of the way... giving us a headcount as guests arrived to hang on the porch, handing me some champs when my girls were struggling with my bustle, and then decorating our room to perfection so when we got there after our after party our flowers were perfectly placed by the fire, petals everywhere, and our uneaten dinner in the fridge. Which brings me to the food, even our tough critic italian relatives who own restaurants were raving about the pasta, the raw bar, cocktail hour, and entrees. Our dinners were even delicious cold at 2 am lol. We can't thank Nicole, Traci, and their teams enough. If you are looking for a beach wedding at a gorgeous venue where you wont have to worry about anything except enjoying the day, MBH is your place. #bestdayever!

As soon as you walk into this hotel you know that this will be a picture perfect wedding venue. The professionalism that came from Nicole was impeccable. The day of, I did not have to worry about a thing she was right there every step of the way. She took care of everything so I could sit back and enjoy the day. We ended the night with all the decorations packed up, the wedding cake we didn’t get to eat and a bottle of champagne in our room. I 100% think that I had the PERFECT wedding because of the little details the staff at MBH took care of.

Beautiful location for a wedding on the beach. The hotel is elegant and the customer service is outstanding. The event planning team will make sure everything runs smoothly. Your guests will have a great time!

We had our wedding there and the staff could not have been friendlier or more supportive. Everyone was great! The setting is beautiful and the atmosphere is wonderful. Highly recommended!

My daughter was married at here on May 31, 2019. From day one Libby and Megan were amazing helping an anxious mom keep it all together. Their knowledge of things we would never have thought of was indeed a welcomed comfort. They were more that accommodating to our guest count and some last minute changes. The food was amazing, the ceremony on the beach was exactly what my daughter had always dreamed of. The staff was incredible, they were right there to make sure the bridal party was getting food between photos and to make sure that the two boys were fed first. Nicole, our wedding day coordinator deserves the highest of all praise. She was somehow simultaneously everywhere at once, running the show, making sure that I was calm and always with a glass of champagne and making sure my daughter had everything she needed. When we had a minor catastrophe with eyelashes, she sent someone out to get eyelash glue, and they even came to the rescue with a hot glue gun for a boutonniere that lost a starfish. She handled everything as cool and calm as could be. Every wedding needs someone like Nicole running it. They had special surprises for the bride and groom too. After the wedding we went to our room to change before packing up the decorations. When we came back down 10 minutes later they had everything packed up and ready to go for us. We spent the rest of the weekend in our amazing hotel room, dining in the restaurant and watching the next bride and groom get married, and Nicole work her magic all over again. Thank you MBH for making my daughter's dreams come true! This is THE BEST beach wedding venue in Connecticut!

Nicole was awesome!! We met her at the final meeting and she was around the day of the wedding. She ran the show. We feel that if it wasn't for her, it wouldn't have gone as flawless as it did. We recommend that you take good notes and make sure that you follow up as sometimes the staff seems to be overwhelmed with too many events. We also recommend that you work closely with the individual who reserves rooms and to keep in contact with her to make sure that what is promised is followed through. Overall, great experience!

My husband and I had the best experience while planning our wedding at the Madison Beach Hotel. This was the second venue we looked at for our wedding, and we instantly fell in love and felt the amazing vibe that Madison Beach has to offer. We worked with Libby from beginning to end, she is professional, sincere, welcoming, and simply a great person to work with. I was able to ask her questions and always got a quick response and honest answer. I even asked her opinion about a few things wedding related, like she was family :) Nicole worked with us the day of and she was amazing! She was professional, flexible, and fun. My husband and I got married in December, we were lucky to have such a beautiful day. The atmosphere overall was classic, romantic, and stunning! Our winter wedding was perfect! I have to say, our day truly was perfect, the food was delicious, the environment fabulous! it was everything we could have hoped for, if not more. Thank you again for this beautiful day.. Libby, Nicole, and all of the staff at Madison Beach Hotel!

They didnt clear the beach so we had strangers in bathing suits in our photos.

I’ve always wanted a beach wedding. Libby, Nicole, and the Madison Beach Hotel made my dreams come true in January nonetheless!! On Friday night, my wedding eve, we checked in as did many family members and friends. Alex and Annie and everyone at the front desk and valet were beyond friendly, helpful, and kind. All rooms have gorgeous water views. My mom, sister, and I stayed in the luxurious bridal suite (two spacious adjoining rooms, both from which you can walk onto a gorgeous wrap around balcony and onto the beach) – we felt like queens! This is where we all got ready the next morning. Our make-up artist met us here and friends and family were able to visit, making this girl time so special. During this period, Lisa delivered a delicious lunch spread and beverages, so good! Now onto my incredibly amazing right-hand girl, Nicole, our banquet manager. Mind you this was January, but when it came time for our first look, Nicole highly recommended my groom and I get outside for pictures. She was not only with us every step of the way, but she was literally tossing my cathedral veil in the air, jumping out of the picture so that we could get the “perfect shot.” Our ceremony was upstairs in the Faulkner Ballroom overlooking the water -such a beautiful, intimate setting. Guests were not able to see the reception tables as there was a wall up during this time. This for me was important. After the ceremony, we walked right into Tides for cocktail hour. Guests were still able to overlook the water as they snacked on delectable and plentiful passed hors d’oeuvres and stations and helped themselves to two open bars. Again, God Bless Nicole…I told her I wanted a sunset shot, but I did not want to miss our cocktail hour. With the sun quickly setting, she helped me throw my Hunter boots on under my dress and we quickly marched out to the rocks on the water and had our photographer snap away. (Thanks Nicole!) After cocktail hour, guests made their way into the ballroom which looked prettier than I could have even imagined from the table settings to the flowers to the setting sun. The food was phenomenal thanks to the wonderful Chef Mo. The rest of the night was a dream, everything was so well executed and I had not a worry in the world except that I didn’t want the night to end (who would with Nicole by your side and Libby behind the scenes paying attention to every single detail?!!) It was the happiest day of my life and we can’t thank Libby, Nicole and the MBH team again! XO

We had an amazing day celebrating our wedding at the Madison Beach Hotel. The venue has amazing views of the sunrise and sunset, beautiful accommodations and and a delicious menu. From the planning to the reception and everything in between, Libby, Nicole and Megan were there to answer questions, discuss details, share ideas and accommodate our requests. They were a big part in making our day so special.

Madison Beach Hotel was the perfect choice for our wedding location. Ceremony and reception in one beautiful locale. Ballroom has gorgeous ocean view, and veranda perfect for cocktail hour. The food all done in house was five star. And bringing it all together was their superstar director of catering Libby Rutty. Her and her team made our special day run so effortlessly smooth from start to finish. Can not beat the MBH for your dream CT wedding. Thanks again to all their staff!

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding at MBH in September and I can't say enough about what a wonderful experience we had at the venue. Everything from the food to the atmosphere and setting was spectacular and all of our service was top notch!!

When you walk into Madison Beach Hotel- you know the setting is idyllic. Gorgeous boutique hotel, with nice looking restaurant and a porch with a million dollar view, made even better by the beautiful rocks you can go and climb on yourself (hello- wedding photos!) but for an incredible day to come together with ease and class- it takes a team of people- where everyone is passionate, and their leader is organized, personable, and professional. After having my wedding in September, I can confirm the MBH team is INCREDIBLE, and it is led by the one-of-a-kind Libby Rutty. Aside from the gorgeous setting, we were worried about the dreaded- "wedding factory" feel that often comes with places that throw at least a decent amount of weddings every season. I can honestly say- I don't know how Libby does it. She made me feel like I was the only bride in the world, not just that day but that season!. From the time you are picking your date, to the time you lay your head on your pillow that night, Libby and her team are attentive, knowledgeable, flexible, and genuinely excited to execute the day. No problem was too big, no question was annoying. I cannot say enough good things about Libby, and the team, including Nicole who was also so on-point, genuine, organized, and attentive that weekend. Not to mention the food- our guests are still talking about appetizers and their dinners. You know how bride and grooms say they don't get to eat because they too busy? We sat down and ATE- loved the menu and my wedding dinner. My husband and I have incredible memories from that day- no stress- just two people surrounded by their friends and family, in a special spot, with some really professional and caring people making sure it all goes down as planned. And yes- we took pictures on the rocks :) Can't go wrong at MBH- rain or shine. Thank you Libby and the entire MBH team.

We had a pretty picture perfect day at the Madison Beach Hotel for our wedding in late September. The venue is beautiful, and the incredible views looking over Long Island Sound are really showcased from the wraparound porch used during the cocktail hour. The food was amazing and the ballroom provided for a lot of good dancing and fun. We continue to get compliments from all of our guests. Perhaps the biggest plus is working with Libby, who is the director of weddings and special events. Her professionalism and ability to put her couples at ease was invaluable, especially on the day of the wedding. We highly recommend having your wedding at the Madison Beach Hotel!

I don't know what our wedding would have been without Libby and Nicole. From the moment we stepped into MBH it was perfect. The venue was gorgeous and almost more important, we felt comfortable with Libby from the beginning. She was calm (which is exactly what you need in a wedding planner) and willing to work with us. We met with one other wedding planner before her who was a bit frantic and that turned me off. The process leading up to the wedding was perfect. They were flexible and reminded us when we needed to have things in. Every question was answered in a timely fashion (even on weekends!). We had a few special issues like a good number of people not drinking alcohol and they came up with creative solutions to make that easier. The days before and of the wedding were even better. The entire staff at MBH was accommodating and helpful. I threw my back out at the gym the day of and the woman at the front desk got her husband to bring tennis balls in for me!! Nicole must have had every item on my agenda memorized because she kept on top of everything. She did it all from giving my rabbi the gift I forgot to give him to bringing my bouquet down to me right before I walked down the aisle when I forgot it upstairs. During the ceremony and reception things just went so smoothly. Literally everyone mentioned how PERFECT it was. There was no disorganization, no awkward pauses. She reminded us to eat before we had to cut the cake which was a godsend. She was everywhere! Everyone also told us how amazing the food was. I know there's more but I can't fit it all here. I would encourage any friend or family member to have their wedding at MBH. It was the best decision I made about the wedding besides marrying my husband ;)

Wow! Madison Beach Hotel went ABOVE AND BEYOND for our recent wedding! Beautiful oceanside venue with an amazing team! I can't say enough great things about Libby, Nicole, Megan and everyone else at Madison Beach Hotel! Our wedding day there was a dream come true and the amazing team at Madison Beach Hotel made wedding planning a breeze. Libby and her team are extremely responsive, and were so accommodating! They are true wedding professionals! We can not thank Madison Beach Hotel enough for everything they did to make our day absolutely perfect . We can't wait to go back and visit!

Wow! The MBH went above and beyond. We were just married on 6-30-18 and everything was perfect. Libby is so detail-oriented and calm! She really helped us look at all angles while we were planning and helped us through every step along the way. Her "A" team was phenomenal. The entire MBH staff treated was friendly, accommodating and efficient! We felt like royalty. We paid for a bridal suite and were offered a HUGE room with breakfast and lunch service to get ready in - it was beautiful. We couldn't be happier with how our day turned out and would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a picturesque, New England, beach wedding!

My Husband and I visited 12 different wedding venues before we stopped at the Madison Beach Hotel. Once we walked in, that was it, we knew it was perfect. Our Ceremony was on the beach at high tide and our photos on the rocks were amazing. Our families can't stop raving about how much fun they had and how beautiful the view from the balcony was at sunset. The rooms were amazing and at the end of the night we came back to the room to find a bottle of champagne and two slices of wedding cake that we never got to eat! Libby and the stuff really took care of everything and they made this crazy experience so easy. I honestly don't know what we would have done with out them! This was our dream wedding and everything was exactly how I imagined my wedding day.
